摘要
Phototherapy is an effective treatment for multiple dermatoses. However, patient inconvenience and poor access to office-based phototherapy may jeopardize adherence and treatment outcome. Home phototherapy offers a convenient, accessible, and effective therapy. We describe the history of home phototherapy, the devices available, and associated costs. A literature review used PubMed. Keywords included: "home phototherapy," "tanning beds," "narrowband ultraviolet B." In a randomized control trial, home phototherapy had similar efficacy to office-based phototherapy. Home phototherapy is associated with significant cost savings treatment and increased adherence. Home phototherapy should be considered for its economic value, good tolerability, adherence, and efficacy.
